# What Founder Hud is

Founder Hud is a Mac app for small teams who talk many times a day. It lives in your menu bar, shows who's online, and rings a teammate's Mac when you call them.

## What you can do with it

- **See who's around.** Faces in the menu bar and on People show who's online, away or in a call. See [Presence](/docs/presence).
- **Call in one click.** Click Call and your teammate's Mac rings with Accept and Decline. Calls hold up to 8 people. See [Calls that ring](/docs/calls).
- **Share your screen with sound.** Pick a window, an app or a whole display. A demo or a video plays with its sound for everyone. See [Share your screen](/docs/screen-sharing).
- **Work on the share together.** Everyone gets a cursor in their own color. Draw, box, comment or drop a sticky. See [Point, draw and comment](/docs/annotation).
- **Keep what was said.** Turn on transcripts and your Mac writes notes with a summary, decisions and to-dos when the call ends. See [Transcripts and notes](/docs/meeting-notes).

Founder Hud also has team chat, to-dos, notes and files. Connect your existing coding agent through the local file bridge: [Agents and scripts](/docs/agents) includes instructions for `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`. The in-app Guide covers the rest: open it with <Kbd>⌘?</Kbd>.

## Where it runs

Founder Hud is a native Mac app for macOS 26 on Apple Silicon. There is no Windows, Linux or browser version.

## How it works

Calls of 2 or 3 people go directly between Macs, encrypted end to end. From 4 people, calls go through Cloudflare's media servers. Your team's hub, a server we run on Cloudflare, handles presence, ringing and chat. It never carries call audio, video or screen shares. See [Encryption and your data](/docs/security).
